Well, in the case of zsh, I later showed that zsh didn't lock the
history properly, I proposed a patch, and the bug was eventually
fixed. FYI, from "/usr/share/doc/zsh/changelog.gz":

Concerning the problem I found with Perl, I still don't know the cause.
I couldn't reproduce it since, even though I permanently run programs
under very similar conditions. And as there have been major upgrades of
each software (in particular, perl 5.8 -> perl 5.10), I think it may be
better to close the bug.
